“To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Colossians 1:27
Come celebrate Christmas with Christ the Lord. I live in you and desire to share the fullness of My life with you.
I am a holy God and will not become entangled in your sins. Pray for My blood to cover you and walk with Me anchored to the Spirit of Christ.
I am a God of intercession bringing down strongholds and setting people free. At times, I will ask you to sacrifice yourself for My purposes.
Listen for My voice. I talk to the people of Christ.
You cannot see Me but I am everywhere. My ears hear your every thought and My eyes see your every action.
Worship Me in Spirit and Truth.
I have poured Myself out so you can have life and have it more abundantly.
I cannot be defeated and I never change. My will is resolute. Live in submission to Me. This is where you will find protection and hope for life.
Faith is believing in My promises and not what you see with your eyes.
My purposes are eternal and I am a perfect God.
I heal broken lives. Nothing is impossible for Me. Ask and you shall receive.
“Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ” 2 Corinthians 5:10
The definition of ensconced is to be established in a comfortable and safe place. In the context of God, this refers to living in oneness with Christ the Lord.
I am the gift of Christmas! Come live with Me by faith believing in My promises.
This can only happen if you are anchored to God through the Holy Spirit who is sealed within you.
Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness through prayer, meditating on the Word of God, and listening for the voice of Christ.
You can lead a life pleasing to God if you are submitting to the authority of the Holy Spirit. This is because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus will set you free from the law of sin and death. Christ lives in you.
The Holy Spirit examines all your motives and is at work to build the values of Christ into your life. He convicts you of sin and keeps you on track with God.
An excellent discipline to build into your spiritual life is to commit your works each day to Christ and ask Him to fill you with His thoughts. This helps to keep self out of the way, avoid temptations and allows you to experience the reality of the Living Christ.
Jesus speaks to His people and desires to be your fortress of comfort and safety. Walk by faith reaching out to Him for your every need.
A Christmas message for all!
I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. I desire to protect you from the swirling troubles and the distresses of living in the world but you must come to Me with an open heart and a willingness to listen for My voice. I want your obedience above all else. You can trust Me implicitly because I keep My Word. Look no further than Me for your every sufficiency. I am Christ the Lord and have power and authority over the heavens and earth. I died so you can live!
This is the season of Christmas. Worship Me in Spirit and Truth. Sing praises and songs of hallelujah honoring My name.
I died so you can have life and have it more abundantly!
I am an immutable God. I never change. Trust Me implicitly.
Look no further. Find your sufficiency in Me for your every need.
I am like the Statue of Liberty. I bring freedom to all those who call on My name.
There is a way that seems right to a man but its end is destruction. The counsel of the Lord endures forever.
Seek me out for wisdom and protection. Do not believe the lies of the world. The world will disappoint you but I keep My promises.
I am a healing God. Ask in My name and you shall receive. (Last night I saw a boy living in Nebraska with a severe tumor in his arm. He will be healed by the power of Christ.)
I live so you can live. Ask for My unlimited strength to overcome your troubles. This strength comes from heaven and is embodied in My life.
There is no one like Me. Live with Me by faith anchored to the Holy Spirit.
I can do for you what you can never do for yourself. All the promises of God in Christ are yes and amen.
Rest in My greatness. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.
You will see powerful signs and wonders in the days ahead. I am reconciling all things to Myself.
Turn away from darkness and enter in My light. There is a way that seems right to a man but its end is destruction. Lean not on your own understanding. Seek Me out for strength, wisdom, and joy. I live so you can live!
The definition of whimsical is acting in a capricious manner. This is someone who operates with sudden and unaccountable changes of mood or behavior.
I am the way the truth and the life.
God never changes but you and I change depending on the circumstances in our lives. We become unstable in times of adversity and tend to drift away from God.
Satan is at work to destroy believers. I sense a strong effort on his part to deceive believers and lead them into evil ways. Do not allow your emotions to control you; live in oneness with Jesus under the authority of the Holy Spirit.
Your only hope for life is in Christ. Come to God by faith living in His promises. Listen to His voice and obey Him.
Pray diligently reaching out to God for your every need.
Praise God continually and meditate on His truths.
Ask for the joy of the Lord. Make this your stimulus for life.
Cast your burdens on the shoulders of God. Give ownership of your troubles to Jesus and then let go. Jesus will sustain you with strength and confidence in His promises. God delivers His people from adversity.
Jesus is your sanctuary for life. All the promises of God in Christ are yes and amen.
“It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God.” Hebrews 10:31
Walking with Christ is not easy. You and I are accountable to Jesus for our every action. And, God gets our attention through the trials of life.
Be still and know that I am God!
Many times the adversity comes at the hand of God and is not provoked by your actions. As a believer, God has one single minded goal in your life. He wants you to live by faith without fear or doubt when the storm clouds come into your life.
Faith is believing and living in the promises of God when your life is falling apart.
Faith is seeking God out for your every need. Most believers have a tendency to stray away from God when troubles come their way. They blame God for failing them when His ways are perfect.
You have been baptized into the death and resurrected life of Christ. Don’t be surprised when adversity comes into your life. It is ordained by God just like the pandemic we are all dealing with today.
The afflictions in your life are a mirror image of what Jesus faced living on this earth. You can become an overcomer by drawing upon the resurrected life of Christ.
Here is how you can you deal with the adversities of life and live at peace with God?
Praise God at all times.
Ask Jesus to cover you with His blood.
Come to God with an open heart to the conviction of the Spirit of Christ.
Pray diligently seeking His counsel for your life.
Meditate on the truths of God.
Forgive God for His actions which seem unjust and forgive those who have hurt you. If you don’t forgive God will not forgive you.
Listen for the voice of God.
Ask for the unlimited strength of Christ.
Remember, the battle is not yours. It belongs to the Lord. Cast your burdens upon the Lord and He will sustain you with His life.
Rest in the work of Christ and cease from striving.
All things work for the good for those who love God and are called according to His purposes. This does not mean that all things are good in your life but God takes your sin and the adversities of life to create His character within you.
Where sin abounds grace abounds more. This is the nature of our loving and compassionate God.
He lives so you can live even in the most dire moments of life!
The definition of hallucinate is to perceive something that is not actually present. Last night God spoke to me about believers “who try to make Me into something that is not really Me.”
I AM who I AM! There is no one like Me.
This misconception about God has many influences in believers.
Walking with Christ is a life of faith. You reach out to Jesus for your every need believing in the promises of God. Without faith you cannot please God.
Jesus is controversial and at times will act in a radical manner in your life.
Jesus is not predictable. He does not operate with the logic of the world.
Jesus has no ego but we are self driven people and can never match up to the standards of God.
Jesus hates religion. It suffocates a believer with the burden of keeping laws, doing works, and it creates an obligation to religious duties.
Jesus is a God of retribution. He blesses and He curses.
The severe judgment of God is at work today in our world. He is angry over the lack of respect for who He is and our improprieties against His ways
As a believer you will experience suffering and pain. This is because you have been crucified into the death of Christ Jesus.
The Christ follower will experience different seasons with God. There will be times of prosperity and times of deprivation. There will be seasons of ministry and seasons of work and family. There will be times of isolation and times of public acclaim.
You cannot encounter the Living Christ through emotions or experiences. You will find Christ through His Word and listening for His voice.
Jesus will test you to the ends of the earth. Many times this will make no sense to you. The purpose of testing is to build your loyalty to God in times of adversity.
Jesus has given you the Holy Spirit which is the life of Christ. He lives in you and is the source of strength, wisdom, joy, and protection. You walk in oneness with God anchored to the Holy Spirit. There is no other way.
Jesus speaks to believers. You have the mind of Christ; “Be still and know that I am God”.
The gift of salvation is living in the moment with God. He wants to be involved in every aspect of your life. Invite the Holy Spirit to have authority over your life. This will bring the Living Christ into your reality. You will see God for who He is!
There is this sense of a burden to do things for God in many believers. The truth is you cannot do anything for God. He has done the work for you. Learn to rest in God and cease from striving. It is not by might nor by power but by My Spirit.
The character of God is best defined as “Yours, Lord is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. For everything in the heavens and the earth is yours. Yours, Lord is the kingdom; you are exalted as the head over all.”
“But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?” Galatians 4:9
Christ Jesus offers you freedom from suffering under the bondage of religion!
My namesake offers you the freedom to be the person I created without the boundaries of religion.
Coming to Christ is a heart transaction to live for Him by faith. There are no rules or rituals required. Jesus died to abolish religion and set you free to worship Him in Spirit and Truth.
The gift of salvation can never be earned or justified through self efforts. It is an expression of the love of God.
Salvation is not a duty or obligation to please God through laws, religious activities, or works. He wants your heart and willingness to obey Him.
The weak and beggarly elements in the scripture above refer to building a relationship with Jesus through compliance to laws or religious duties. You will never find the Living Christ with this approach. Jesus does not live in religion; He lives in your heart.
Religion will corrupt you but the Spirit of Christ will allow you to see the transfigured Christ and walk with Him in all the moments of your life.
The reality of salvation is living in oneness with Jesus anchored to the Holy Spirit and experiencing His life.
Jesus offers you supernatural characteristics not available in the world. He emptied His life on the Cross so you can have His strength, wisdom, joy, and protection. He wants to give you an abundant life that originates in heaven and never ends.
Jesus wants to instill His values in your life and transform you into a fountain of Living Water touching those around you.
Walk with Jesus by faith reaching out to Him for your every need. This will please the heart of God and your world will never be the same.
You will see the Living Christ for who He is and know in the deepest part of your heart that He is your only hope for life.
